This stops very quickly with the following: running dhcpcd on interface err, no interface specified I've investigated it a bit further, and determined that the variable 'dhcp_macaddresses' is not set when run_all.sh is called. It therefore ends up defaulting to a MAC-address of the system where the initrd was built which means boot/12-network.sh cannot identify the interface, hence "err, no interface specified" It is quite possible that this is a direct effect of bug#724775, but for the moment there is no obvious connection.
